Hardware Technical Program Manager

We’re looking for a dynamic Technical Program Manager to help build Bedrock’s platform from the ground up, driving cross-functional programs across hardware, onboard infrastructure, and safety.

In this role, you’ll be the force multiplier at the center of some of our most exciting challenges, turning complex hardware-software integration challenges into streamlined, high-velocity execution with real-world impact. You’ll partner closely with world-class engineering teams to deliver the next generation of autonomous-capable construction machinery.

This is a hands-on, high impact role for someone who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to shape durable processes that help a fast-growing company scale.

What You’ll Do:

• Own complex, cross-functional technical programs, taking autonomous systems from early prototypes through production-ready deployment.
• Manage execution across software, hardware, firmware, safety, and field operations, aligning deeply interdependent workstreams into a single, coherent plan.
• Lead system-level integration and milestone planning, ensuring firmware, drivers, hardware bring-up, vehicle builds, and field deployments come together predictably and on time.
• Facilitate high-stakes technical decision-making, helping teams navigate tradeoffs, resolve ambiguity, and move forward with clarity and urgency.
• Anticipate and mitigate program and technical risk at the platform level, surfacing issues early and providing leadership with clear options and recommendations.
• Balance tactical implementation with strategic execution, shaping roadmaps and dependencies while adapting quickly to a fast-moving environment.
• Define and evolve lightweight program management practices that scale with the company and enable teams to move faster without compromising safety or quality.
• Operate with a relentless sense of ownership for the success of programs you work on.

What You’ll Bring:

• Meaningful years of experience as a Technical Program Manager or in a comparable technical leadership role, with a demonstrated ability to deliver complex, multi-disciplinary systems from concept through deployment.
• 2 years of professional experience leading programs involving safety-critical systems, with an understanding of the rigor, validation, and cross-functional coordination required to operate reliably in the physical world.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Domain experience working on robotics or autonomous systems, with a working understanding of the software, firmware, and hardware stacks that power real-world autonomy.
• Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts, risks, and interdependencies and translate them into aligned and actionable plans.
• A track record of thriving in fast-paced, high-ownership environments, with startup experience strongly preferred and a bias toward building structure that helps us scale through complexity.
